When I click on 'Get This book' for a book, it lists links in the green Quick Links box. I have Barnes and Noble listed and it works fine.

In the middle of the page under the banner: Librarything Local: Nashua, NH there are stores listed that are close to me.
There are 5 B&N Links: Nashua, Salem, Manchester, Leominster, and Burlington.
When I click on any of them, I don't get a B&N. I get a site in the UK, called Blackwell.
Last night when I tried from work and found the problem it went to a UK site called Foyles.
When I tried that same book again this morning it went first to Blackwell and now is going to Foyles again
http://www.foyles.co.uk/
I then went into Edit to see if the links I have selected had the wrong, URL and they don't.

B&N is having a big summer clearance sale. I'd like to use the my wishlist collection to quickly see if the books I want are available, but the link still points to that Blackwell site.

Fixed. Thanks.
It was easy to spot, and in theory to fix in theory, but B&N's URLs have a weirdness in them it took me a while to figure out.

Thank you, Thank you. I have used it twice already to reserve 2 books in the store.
Now how about the Amazon UK link ? It no longer can find anything.
